About Last Frontier Heliskiing

Last Frontier Heliskiing is one of the most northerly heliski operations in British Columbia. Our heliski tenure is a massive 9,500 square km. We are extremely fortunate to call one of the most snow intensive areas of the world our home. Both the Northern Coastal Mountains and the Skeena Mountain Range are imposing and heavily glaciated. We have access to an almost limitless amount of challenging terrain. 2.2 million acres of uninhabited northern British Columbia awaits you.

Runs start high on alpine glaciers and end well below tree line, deep in the valley bottoms. The glaciers and alpine bowls of our tenure seem to go on forever. Rip turns through deep blankets of powder surrounded by jagged and awe inspiring peaks. The treed-terrain is challenging and the deep snow lies protected from the elements amongst the spectacular old growth forests. We have an abundance of tree runs, many of them close to the lodge and easily accessible in poor weather.

Small groups, small helicopters and BIG terrain sum up the heliski experience at Last Frontier Heliskiing. Bell 2 Lodge offers a maximum of only 3 groups of 5 per Bell 407 helicopter. Waiting times are almost non existent.

Though we rarely use the term 'expert', any guests considering a trip north to Last Frontier should be seasoned all mountain skiers or riders with a solid history of enjoying the mountains. We'll never sell you on the snow quality or promise you the daily treat of waist deep powder - but it does happen on a regular basis, which is why our guests continue to return, year after year. Coupled with our professional mountain staff and lodge personnel that love what they do, you will be enjoying a trip with one of the leading and most reputable heliski operations in British Columbia.

Guide Certifications & Experience

Safety is our first priority. Our guides are chosen not only for their guiding skills and qualifications, but also for their enthusiastic and outgoing personalities. They are professional guides who have passed a series of comprehensive examinations to qualify them as members of the A.C.M.G. and the U.I.A.G.M., the recognized Canadian and International Mountain Guide Associations. They are experienced at balancing exciting and challenging skiing with the safety and enjoyment of the entire group. Our guides also participate in yearly refresher courses, both at Last Frontier and as part of their ongoing training as certified mountain guides.

Mountain Safety
Weather and snow conditions are continuously monitored by our guides and snow safety team. Terrain and specific runs are chosen based on the current conditions. In addition, together with other leading heli-skiing companies in British Columbia, we sponsor an ongoing avalanche research project with the University of Calgary.

Equipment Used

Our guests enjoy the comfort and reliability of a Bell 407 helicopter. Our pilots are chosen to meet the same high standards as our guides and have a wealth of experience flying in the mountains. Helicopter maintenance is provided by our on-site team of engineers.
